    Nah mate at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if the person doing the DDoS attacks on Overwatch 2 is a TF2 megafan.

  • exdmg EXDMG (@exdmg) reported

    @Andy2r5 @WS_Shinobi @PaulTassi How was the core gameplay of Overwatch broken to the point that it needed to be completely overhauled? If it was broken they wouldn’t have made a multimillion dollar franchised league around it and orgs wouldn’t be spending millions to buy into a broken game.

  • GameVman GameVman (@GameVman) reported

    @XboxWire Where do I go to download anything other than the Overwatch 2 “Free Trial”. Everywhere I look on the Xbox Marketplace that’s all I can download and when launching the game I’m greeted by an error saying the “Trial Version isn’t active at this time”

  • _NiGHTFiRE32 Robert Carpenter (@_NiGHTFiRE32) reported

    @BlizzardCS Hi! I had purchased the overwatch watchpoint pack during the beta on Xbox and now I'm not getting any of the bonuses it included when I get into Overwatch 2. Is this a known issue and how will it be resolved?

  • partialartist18 Martin (@partialartist18) reported

    @Lord_Doom_1 @dxrkvoids If only that were possible. The problem is overwatch 2 is a giant update to overwatch 1, so you can’t even go back to overwatch 1 if you tried.

  • stormflight2106 shadow48013 (@stormflight2106) reported

    @Blizzard_Ent I have had overwatch 2 downloaded since launch and it is refusing to let me even into the game. It keeps saying login error even though I have restarted my system and waited an entire day after launch to play. This is ridiculous

  • herky_lee Herky_Lee aka Herky (@herky_lee) reported

    is anyone having trouble logging in trying to queue up in Overwatch 2?

  • thezaner25 zipz (@thezaner25) reported

    @BlizzardCS I have a post paid cricket number and it wont let me use it i was wondering if this issue could get fixed or if im just locked out of playing overwatch until i swap to a new provider. There has to be a better way to root out smurfs. Ticket Number: US86580569

    @Berryz___ @BlizzardCS @batu16458157 It's ridiculous to expect me to swap phone plans just to play Overwatch. Blizzard needs to fix this.
